Hi all,

First off - thank you very much to SNOOPY for helping me learn something about 
what sort of questions and to ask for when initiating a fundamental search 
for value in a company. I really appreciate you taking the time.

I recently subscribed to this http://www.stockfetcher.com thing and have found 
it quite a good tool! At least I could see it's uses if you were a TA trader. 
Something that hasn't felt right to me with looking for value in a company is 
that how long must you wait for value to be realized? The answer is probably 
until the market realizes it! This uncertainty sits uneasy with me - the 
investment just feels a bit to uncertain.

I don't want to stir up any old wounds between TA vs. fundamentals so please 
don't think that is my intent. I'm only expressing what has initially struck 
me odd about the fundamental approach.

Haveing found a cool tool like the website above I will re-iterate that I 
think the US market is better suited to a TA approach. It seems there is much 
larger increase/decrease in price on a single day. My question is do you 
think it is silly to experiment with a TA approach in the US market on stock 
ranging from $1-5? I must admit, I really want to give this a try - but at 
the same time I am a tad bit afraid to lose my money :)

Also, on a separate note, I generally save about $1000/month and have 2 months 
worth saved up, is that enough to invest at once? Should I split this amount? 
Keeping in mind that each month will be another $1000 to invest somewhere 
else.

Many thanks for any insights provided.
